Violin Memory (www.vmem.com) is pioneering the future of flash memory storage in the enterprise data center. Violin Memory Arrays deliver storage at the speed of memory, accelerating business critical applications and enabling fully virtualized and optimized IT infrastructures. Designed for sustained performance with high reliability, Violin Memory arrays scale to hundreds of terabytes and millions of IOPS with low, spike-free latency. Violin Memory is the ultimate solution for the company who is looking to accelerate their business critical applications and virtualize their Data Center storage with an Enterprise Storage Array that delivers unprecedented sustainability and spike-free latency at price points challenging HDD performance storage. Violin Memory provides the industry(tm)s fastest and most scalable memory appliances. Built from the ground up to provide scalable high performance memory infrastructure for large data set applications, Violin Memory(tm)s appliances lower the total cost of memory (TCM), provide an 80% saving in space and power, and seamlessly integrate into you Storage Area Network (SAN) infrastructure using Fibre Channel (FC), iSCSI, or Infiniband (IB). Violin Memory's appliances bring a new level of reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) by providing unmatched scalability, the industry(tm)s fastest I/O performance, memory fault tolerance, ultra-green power efficiency, and compelling price performance.Violin Memory has rewritten the rules for how solid-state memory, can be deployed into the enterprise. Unlike solid state disk (SSD), Violin Memory(tm)s technology innovation stems from a system level view to re-architect a reliable, robust, and efficient memory system. Most solid-state companies squeeze solid state memory into either existing form factors such as hard drives or existing architectures such as the traditional linear bus found in most computer systems. Thus, along two dimensions, both form factor and level of integration, Violin has innovated with patented solutions. Many applications in the data center are constrained by their ability to access data stored on mechanical disk drives. With fast multi-core processors and high speed networks, the common bottleneck is the latency and throughput limitations of disk-based storage. Even the fastest drives available deliver less than 250 IOPS with latency greater than 5 milliseconds. System administrators and IT architects often find themselves over-provisioning disk drives and endlessly tuning to squeeze out incremental performance gains. Violin Memory is engaged in planning and designing computer systems that integrate Violin Memory computer hardware and software into customer environments. Violin Memory can also install the system and train and support users of the system.
